Dear Sir

Your kind letter of arrived in the morning mail. I have carefully noted ;your desires expressed therein and will cheerfully comply therwith as far as my circumstances will admit at the time.

Indian Walker & his band are still hostile & have killed two men, and wounded two since you left.

Next week we will commence a ditch & wall around our entire City, the Wall to be 12 feet high with suitable gates and Bastions. Your wife is well; health & prosperity continue to prevail. Excuse my brevity at this time as the Mail is about closing.

Sincerely Your Friend
